I CAN’T believe it’s December already!  One more month down and an entire year has been completed!  My Christmas cards arrived yesterday, so I guess that means it’s time to start writing and mailing them!  I had them printed at Snapfish and so far am quite pleased with the results.  I was torn between Snapfish and Shutterfly,as I’ve always had really good results from Shutterfly. In the end, my 20% discount at Snapfish was the deciding factor since I get cash back from eBates with either of them…and again I am very pleased with the results.  Although I checked into their products, I didn’t use ArtsCow this time because they only offered photo cards and not greeting cards; however, they have an awesome assortment of other goodies and when you sign up you get tons of “free” items to try out.  I’m leaning towards a mouse pad for Nadya’s Daddy and ornaments for the Grandparents.  They also offer referral bonuses, so if you like ‘em – tell ‘em I sent ya (my link is above) and then get your friends to join too!

Digital-Arts Cafe is having a HUGE blog party Dec 1 – Dec 7 so I thought I’d join in.  I hadn’t been happy with the things I’ve been working on lately, so I’m very pleased with how this one turned out.  I’ve been working hard to create some realism in my papers and have fun with the elements – so I hope you enjoy what I’ve come up with.  I must say a special “Thank You” to Kim Broedelet, Bunny Cates, Wenchd Grafix, and MegaDoodle for their commercial use and designer preview items – you guys are awesome!!!

Click on the previews to visit the download site, and while you’re at it, leave a comment here and at all of the other blogs – we really appreciate a simple Thank You.   The link to Blog Party Central is located after my previews.  Have a Happy Monday and a great week!

Links have expired – thanks for joining us. The kit will be in my DSO store soon.
